Most of Mount San Jacinto State Park is wilderness, containing three mountain peaks higher than 10,000 feet in elevation. The mountain's high points offer spectacular views of nearby desert and mountain ranges. Visitors can ride into the park from the west side or ride a tram 2.5 miles up the mountain. Hikers and backpackers need wilderness permits.
The park is accessible by Hwy 243 from Idyllwild or by tram from Palm Springs.
The park is open from dawn until dusk.
